Summary
491,000 ICE arrests and 483,200 deportations in fiscal 2026 marked the highest annual totals in the agency’s history, DHS said Thursday.
475,000 of those arrests were administrative arrests — also a record — as DHS said Trump administration policies had "unleashed" ICE operations.
65,000 more arrests were made than in Biden’s final three full fiscal years combined, while deportations fell fewer than 3,000 short of matching that three-year total.
50,925 arrests in August set a monthly record, and September added more than 48,000 — over 300% above the previous administration’s average for that month.
DHS said more than 3 million migrants have left the U.S. under Trump, with nearly 1.2 million deported and more than 1.25 million arrested as of October.
